Note

Printable area: The area that can be printed.

Guaranteed Print Area: We recommend printing within this area.

To print so that your original matches the print area exactly, use an oversized paper size that includes the required margin. (→P.256)

You can choose a bottom margin of 3 mm or 23 mm when printing from the Top Paper Feed Slot. In the printer driver, choosing Manual in Paper Source sets the bottom margin at 23 mm. On the other hand, choosing Manual (3mm margins) in Paper Source sets the bottom margin at 3 mm, which provides a larger area for printing.

However, the option Manual (3mm margins) is not available with the following paper.

Fine Art Photo Paper

Fine Art Heavyweight Photo Paper

Fine Art Textured Paper

The types of paper listed above may be updated, in some cases. For details on paper types, see the Paper Reference Guide. (→P.108)

If you set the bottom margin at 3 mm, images in the bottom margin may be distorted. In this case, choose Manual in Paper Source to set the bottom margin at 23 mm.
